It has been quite a journey. We have relocated to Tennessee ! We moved in December of 2022. While we are still working with horses we are no longer taking in any new rescues. We have retired the active rescue as of March 31, 2023. We however, will be continuously working with our placed/adopted horses that we have rehomed.

We have enjoyed every connection and relationship that we have made along this journey.

Thank you!

"The horse is a mirror. It goes deep into the body. When I see your horse I see you too. It shows me everything you are, everything about the horse. I try to face life for what it is. There’s heartache, but it’s a good thing. I’m trying to save the horse’s life and your life too. The human is so good at war. He knows how to fight. But making peace, boy, that’s the hardest thing for a human. But once you start giving, you won’t believe how much you get back." - Ray Hunt.

We still have a list of people looking for horses. Please feel free to reach out to us if you know of someone who needs to rehome a horse or is looking for horse to offer a forever home to!

A licensed professional therapist had reached out to us seeking a therapy horse for her upcoming equine therapy program. Just a few days later our friend Jene contacted us about needing a home for the second boarder horse seeking a forever home. We were able to connect Brooke with Jene and there was an instant connection for Chester! Jene made the few hour trip down to Brooke with Chester and it was a perfect match! Yeah for Chester!

10/01/2020

Sometimes we get a chance to help owners and their horses without them coming into our program. We had gotten a call from a friend who had two horses to place that were from 2 boarders. The first one is Sedona. Her owner had a stroke and could no longer care for her. We reached out to our neighbor rescue in Wisconsin. Journey Home Equine Rescue had a spot for her! She arrived about 3 weeks ago and she is doing extremely well. Thank you JHER for opening up your hearts for her!

Update on Cinder:

Wanted to update you on Cinder. She's really given us quite a scare since she came in. We started her on ulcer meds immediately and she's always got nice hay available at all times, alfalfa several times a day and we've had multiple buckets of different feeds in front of her at all times, everything from quality beet pulp based wetted senior to sweet feed (which we never use..) just to try to get her eating. She would slowly eat the hay and alfalfa but only from a hay net, not from the ground.
Finally tried putting her feed bucket elevated instead of on the ground and that helped, but then she had a mild fever and lethargy last Tuesday. Did a shot of Excede and banamine and she broke out in hives the next day - must be allergic to Excede. She was put on Dex and TriHist.
My equine dentist was due out last Tuesday and then her mom died so we made arrangements with another excellent dentist to come out and he arrived on Friday. Her teeth were a holy mess - no wonder the poor girl wasn't eating much. Dental was done without sedation. The hives are going down.
As of yesterday she's finally eating, she's decided she would make friends with a Paso mare we have in rehab for laminitis - she won't let Chica next to her, but she wants her near by at all times. She's getting 4-5 small meals of a quality senior feed that is wetted to a mash and has good hay available at all times along with still getting several servings of fresh alfalfa.
It's still likely going to be another month or more before we can tell if there's anything underlying going on, her bloodwork was all good other than slightly elevated white blood cell count. It's my feeling that because she was so emaciated, her entire body hurt along with her teeth being so sharp. I fully believe grazing or eating from the ground was simply too painful due to lack of muscle.
She hasn't gained any weight since we couldn't get her to eat anything other than hay and alfalfa until Friday, but she's finally looking more relaxed, less stressed and is finally finishing up each of her small meals even with supplements and meds in it (we were having to manually dose everything until Saturday).

Just an FYI, this is a dry-lot paddock that is needed for Chica, but there's amply hay available at all times. Cinder needs to be carefully monitored and fed 4-5 times a day right now and can't go out with a herd in her current condition.

Thank you to GAIT for our rescue to rescue transfer of Cinder, the Rocky Mountain gaited mare! She is doing well and being taken care of and treated like a princess! She is slowly gaining weight and loves grooming.

Creating a Horse Quarantine – The Horse

Here are some great links for quarantine best practices:

Here are the steps to take when introducing a new horse to your farm, and to reduce disease spread within your herd.

***UPDATE bail has been paid thank everyone for all of their generosity! We have set up a rescue to rescue mission for her. Cinder will be going to GAIT (Gaited Advocate International Team) in Maryland! She will depart from QT hopefully on Saturday and arrive later that day. Please check in with GAIT and follow her progress! Thank you so much again for being part of her continued mission.🐎🌝💜

We have a beautiful soul that needed an intervention. Cinder as we call her was in a Kill pen in North Carolina. The situation was so dyer that several of us realized she needed to be immediately pulled to save her life . She has a body score of 1 and a respiratory infection. She is being given the proper feed, hay and medical attention that she needs. A balance is still owed to her kill buyer in less than a week. We are currently helping to raise funds to keep the agreement that was made to swiftly get her to an experienced quarantine provider if the monies where paid on time. We are still in need of $ 100.98.

Please consider helping to raise the funds we need to solidify our part of the the deal to save her life.
